(Continued from hist -week.) . i • Mrs. Stark shoo hands" with er, and hoped she would -sleep well, d Nan, mated by an. im .. ulse more of pity than. affection, kissed her. Mrs:. Stark re- eeived the kiss but without the slightest emotion. f Int the course of the next day. waver - , station Nan learned something about her` mother's past and present. Mrs-. Stark. had evidently nothing to conceal. Her life with the departed Stark (Margaret had not even told Nan that he was de- ) had .been the common, unevent-' zful life of .most of her 'class. Jim, or d'emima, was: her daughter by the second marriage, and consequently Nan's half smter. Jemima Stark I Nan could re- ember how she and Tory -discussing names for their children as they were fend of doing -hart placed Jemima- at the very head of their Index Expurga- torins. What would: Tory say now ?- Mrs. Stark and Jim lived. alone on the few acres Stark had left them, support-- ing themselves, -. by sewing;- Nan bad. noticed a sewing machine and as great' pile of homespun, and this: explained it.. er mother was a tailoress 1 s - It is wonderful how quietly We can accept facts when we know theni to be facts. For herself Nan at once got rid Of her uneasiness by.fixing a fortnight aathe limit of. he stay. The .problem that puzzled her most was, how a sel- fish, mercenary man, to whomiwordly position had been the very breath of his noosstrils, had ever married the tperson before her. She took courage at last to ask, about her father.- Mrs. Stark spoke :of him without hesitationand- without.: bitter nets. The Guzmans mere Spanish, but . the migration' to Florida had *en- in her grandfather's time.; even het father had been born in America. She related frankly the history of .- the land. : Her aidfather, a man of iimeans-who had n "somebody " in his own eountry she believed, had bought an immense tract, but some defect in the title had led to a longlawsuit,decided at first in their favor. It was at this time of brief. prosperity, that Captain MacDonald, travelling with a brother officer, had met ant married her. Almost iinmedi- . ately after; the marriage the decision had been reversed ons- appeal, and the :Guz- mans were penniless, .though moist pea - pie -thought unjustlytsb.. "_Then," said Mrs'.. Stark, quietly, referring to the gal- - lant e captain, and passing ,over : for his - daughter's sake some incidents that had ' . preceded his going ---'then he Went.' The air of passive, uncomplaining endurance im reseed Nan • more strongly than before.. - - 1 Between Mrs. Stark and Jim it was -evident that a :deep£ though undemon. < strative affection existed. Jim: was as . strong ass horse, and as ungainly and good natured as a large puppy. Nan imagined, from her appearance, that she must' -be very near- her own age, but found she was only sixteen. Jinn con- ceived for her new sister an intense ad- miration; and became at on3e : het will- ing slave. Both mother and daughter treated Nan not as a member of the family, but as a- guest for whore they must .do everything possible.; How me.ny !sacrifices they made in providing even the indifferent comfort she found with them, Nan was long. in finding out. Tile guest spent the greater 'part of her first day in writing letters, and she me, excitedly eager to receive eplies. The village of Bliff's Cor- . ners was four miles away,and Jim trudg- ed joyfully the eight miles daily till she was rewarded by finding a,.foreignsletter -which hod been forwarded from Wil- loughby.- < Nan was delighted to hear from Tory, but could -F-not account for Margaret's silence, It is not Tory's�history I am chronic- ling,- but poor: Nan's ; but inasmuch as F have referred to certain little . faults in the it is just to say that these had long ago disappeared, and that Tory was now not only the beauty of Strath lowrie, but was declaredTly:everybody rho knew her " as guid as sae- was bon iiie;" and "her mither's verra'sel' come back again." - Young 'as she was she = could' .set a dozen` gofers against_ Nan's • toe ; and in flintily settling the matter she; had certainly ledaside any prompt: ings of ambition,' and;'let true love - choose for her. The young minister had: not been the lucky one after all,- how- :even The winner of the prize was no. ether than our old friend; Archie Camp; bell, now admitted`with Colin to ashare in his father's business ; and ash there - watt no.reason for delay, -the marriage was to take place on Dory's ,eighteenth birthday. To knit 'stilI more strongly the tie between the ;Leslies and the . Campbells, Sophy- had -t just- sailed for India to marry Rob. •. ' This important \news was duly niade known;to Nan in her letter brought by - Jim} Of course when it ' was written they had known at the Manse of Nan's change of plane, so that Tory was an ticipating her coming: in all her glory. 44'1 don't know what Mr. Preston," 'she.. wrote " will; think of our little Manse. But as papa always says, we cannot do more than give: our, best .and a hearty weleame." Oh, if Nan could only fly to -Tory that "very moment ! She began to wonder, if it had' been worth while to • make such a sacrifice. She wondered more s the daps pass- ed on and -no letter came from. Margaret. _. She received a. long, beautiful ilettet froth. Mother- Francoise, and a f long, rambling one from Mrs. Benj amin.t The. latter, who had been like all the St. Mark's people, greatly taken with Mr. Eustace ce during his short stay • in_ Wil- loughby, was canvassing among the con- gregation. to get Mr. Tolivar elected as - instant blshop,so as to have Mr. Etstace -as'rector. Mrs. Benjamin . reasoned -thus : " Mr. Tolivar will nevergo with- out sonfething better than; Willou g hby; no other congregation will ever call him; and as bishop he will only be able to in- flict e. small portion of himself on= each of , vua." Sound reasonings l: And yet Dr Preston had said, "Who. can find a-loggical woman ?" The fortnight fixed by Nan ate. the limit of herstay passed away, and yet there was noletter from Margaret nor, though Tian had, replied to the two_ Wil loughby- letters at once, dill either. blether Francoise or Mrs.. Benjamin writeagain Mre. Stark was sure the., postoffice was responsible, and related `various losses of which .she.happeied to know.. But Nang grew more and inure uneasy. She did not - know what had happened, but she h 'a vague, appre- h ' ion of coming mist rtnne. ; T- e blow fell at las in the form of a le r' from Mr. O'N il, who explained the he wrote at the reenuest of his wife, she ing too deeply chocked to. write 'herself, Tip Baltimo a people had sent in their accounts, and ad returned the I 0 IT, demanding t ' _ :money.. Mr O'Neil had refused to y, being, at he said neither legally n r ` morally bound to deprive hie wife of the necessaries of life in• order tominis to the extrava genee and " want of i iciple of an 'an- -grateful girl. The ci ion of the whole matter was, t a• • n gat.t ey washed 'their hands of her, and• had written a full.account of her doings to the Manse. A postscript added that the affair -had leaked out, so that all Willoughby knew she - had left: in disgrace. ; Mr. O'Neil suggested that she should proceed forth- with . to make herself useful-. to her : mother. � ..• , .:1 When 1 WWhen' Nan 'was. able to think, she knew' full well whose the inspiration - been, and that:. Mr. O'Neil's. share e -fetter hadeonly been -in the copy - ing of it.' But the blowwas terrible. That Margaret should` - not; think welt of her` was buta secondary consideration; -shedid'_ not think well of Margaret.i and Mr. O'Neil's opinions' were copied, like hissermons and letters, -from, his wife's.`. But " all Willoughby knew she had left in disgrace =Mother Francoise in her convent, Mrs. Benjamin in her Canvassing (Nan could hear the latter zgiving her version of the affair, and the young Benjamins ' constantly interrupt ing her 'with. their " What, ma's ?), and. all the Fitzhu he in the pleasant places. .where She had laughed andtdanced and: dreamed.
